Aerial Industry

Tom Blachford’s aerial photos of the industry of Melbourne connect the familiar with the surreal, putting man-made structures into a silent and breathtaking dream.

Tom Blachford’s photography has a way of connecting the familiar with the surreal, rendering functional, man-made structures into a silent and breathtaking dream.

Aerial Industry is a series of aerial photos of the industry of Melbourne, captured from an open-door helicopter above the city.

Blachford’s fascination with texture and shape, both contributing factors to the graphic style and considered composition of his work, have steered his artistic pursuit into the realm of architecture and interiors, an area he continues to explore throughout his many work and travels around the world.
